I asked my youngest sister Lynne for some constructive criticism for my blog. She kindly said my grammar and spelling are terrible. I always listen to what my sisters say... so here is my intention to write better grammar.
-Extract from Eats, Shoots and Leaves
A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.
"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
So punctuation really does matter, even if it is only occasionally a matter of life and death.
well I'm suitably impressed,
read more for the obligatory satire
so theres my solemn promise to improve us grammar; to be honest its really not that difficult to write good grammar in fact; once, youve, got the hang it comes pretty natural the only. Problem is never i could work out where to put those old apostrophes`s`
Im sure nobody! has tried to satrise eats shoots, and leaves before!
since i believe in eastern philosophy perhaps this will be bad comma for me.
OK I better stop before it gets too funny.
